Many Western leaders continue to blather about Vladimir Putin as an evil tyrant. I want to share with you a couple of videos that present a different perspective. First up is Putin talking to students on the first day of school in Russia. He shares memories based on letters from his grandfather (I don’t know if it was paternal or maternal). Most Americans ignored the commemoration of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Truth be told, very few Americans died in World War II compared to what Russia experienced. Only a tiny percentage of Americans have an ancestor who died at Pearl Harbor.
Putin’s remarks in this video are a reminder that almost every family in Russia experienced the loss of a loved one in World War II. That is why millions of Russians march every May carrying photos of their parents, grandparents or great grandparents who served or died in the “Great Patriotic War.”
Next up, a much younger version of Putin. He spoke 22 years ago in the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks. Russia, at the time, also faced a domestic Islamic insurgency in Chechnya. That war, which started in 1999, lasted ten years. Remember the Tsarnaev brothers who carried out the Boston Marathon bombing? Yep. They were Chechens.
Putin was willing to stand with America in fighting Islamic extremists in 2001. I pray we will see a time when American and Russia can work as friends in trying to ensure peace in the world.
I really do believe that if not for the USA’s psychotic neocons and DC uniparty, Russia and USA could friends, if not partners. Ukraine would be free, neutral and prosperous. There would be peace from Spain across to Vladivostok
PORTUGAL TO VLADIVOSTOK. Portugal is not Spain.
What this has to do with the article.
Portugal is most westerly part of Europe
I think you’ll find Ireland is the most westerly part of Europe, > 10 W. There’s a lookout on the Dingle peninsula with a plaque to that effect.
What goes around comes around. John Denver from back in the day.

Given the clods lording it over us, prayer is our only hope for peace.
Nie Irlandia tylko Islandia.
Iceland?
I’ve heard that Anglo Saxons in general and Americans in particular don’t like maps, but how is it possible to want to discuss in the 21st century what sailors no longer discussed in the 16th century?
Cabo da Roca, 9º 30′ W, The Edge Of The World And The End of Europe
https://www.beportugal.com/cabo-da-roca/
Ireland today is an Island where some multinationals decide not to pay taxes! And as is obvious when discussing the point
“The westernmost point of Europe” concerns the point of the continental plate. Because there are several European islands further west than Ireland. Starting with Islandia at 18º, Canarias at 15º 18′ Madeira at 24º 16′ and the Azores archipelago with the island of Flores at 31º 16′ W – this is the westernmost point in Europe. So western that it is already on the North American plate. Fundamental in the era of Discoveries and Sailing Navigation.
Technically, a smallish northwest corner of Spain touches the Atlantic Ocean, so it is as far west as the coast of Portugal. I think the Spanish call it Galicia
Cabo da Roca (near Lisbon) is the westernmost point of the european continent (not including islands, for instance, Azores (also in Portugal)). Galicia (Spain) is actually the region where the Portuguese language originates)
Common phrase is Lisbon to Vladivostok.
That is actually a Putin quote: “A united Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok” ca 2007, I think.
It is a riff on De Gaulle’s “Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals.”
Perhaps VP is hinting something about the UK.
SOL,
There’s no need to insinuate, it’s geography. Western Europe is a peninsula of the great Eurasian plate and from here the expression from Lisbon to Vladivostok.The UK is an island in the North Atlantic! By definition, islands belong to bodies of water and not to terrestrial plates! How Moscow views the UK’s eternal hatred of Russia is another matter! I would add all of Europe! And it has been like this many times throughout history. With countries like Russia and France having more reasons for complaints. One thing is right. There can be no European security architecture that does not address Russia’s security concerns. And anyone who wants to distort this evidence means harm to Europe.
Good grief, man! Look what mess you started by being so anal. Take the “intent” for what it’s worth and move on.
Maybe you should move on from using the word “anal” outside it’s real meaning. You end up being much bigger asshole than the one you are attacking.
It is worth noting that up to the sale of Alaska to the US in 1867, Russia was an intense friend to the United States. It pocked-vetoed a mercenary intervention in the Revolution (which is why we get “Hessians” and not “Cossacks” in New York), and parked both Pacific and Baltic fleets in US (Northern) ports from 1863-4 while telling Britain if they interfered in the Civil War they’d have a European war to go with it. Through to FDR there was a very strong pro-Russian strain in the US foreign diplomatic establishment, until Truman purged the government in lockstep with Churchill’s iron curtain approach.
Arguably, Britain has done more to poison the world’s well toward Russia than any power. Following the failure of the Civil War to atomize America (and British-funded Booth’s murder of Lincoln), militant factions such as the Coefficients Club in London typified (but not limited to) by Milner-Mackinder-Rhodes worked hard to bend American political thought toward Britain as their special partner, British methods of power relationships (see: Imperial America following the Spanish-American war), and educating key, connected figures as fellow-travelers. The Rhodes Scholarship program is an example of this. The net effects intensified following the incorporation of the British-trained OSS as CIA, and efforts to “rescue” continental fascists (themselves originally backed by the Crown, London and New York bankers).
This is a long way of saying that while the problem between America and Russia most certainly rests within its current elite at all levels, the poisoning of said elite traces firmly back to Britain’s practices in divide-and-conquer as a strategic imperial imperative. Recognizing this influence is the key to rooting out the anti-humanist elite who have colonized American influence pillars.
Parecido a lo que sucedió con el imperio español a manos de los ingleses, que crearon una leyenda negra totalmente incierta y que usaron a la masonería inglesa para “preparar” a los futuros “libertadores” para que dividieran ese imperio en un montón de países, que solo han permanecido unidos por una lengua y cultura común. “dividir y manipular”
The antipathy between Russia and the Western parasite classes does not originate in London, and it has nothing to do with the Crown, the Square Mile or things of that nature.
It all traces back to the exposure in 1470’s of the Judaizing Heresy – and attempt to infiltrate and undermine the [Russian] Orthodox Church in the same way as Catholicism had been infiltrated and undermined.
The Pale of Settlement dates from ~200 years after that event, and indicates that the Russian state had recognised that the group that it banned from its land, retained a deep and abiding hatred for Russia, its rulers, and its people.
Literally all the people driving the “Hate Russia” bus in the last 200 years, were either born in the Pale of Settlement, or their ancestors were born there.
They’re not Ashkenazi, btw. The Ashkenazim originate from the Lower Rhineland, not the lice-infested shtetlakh of the “borderlands” (‘Okraine’ in old Russian) between Eastern Poland and Lvov. They’re better described as Khazarim – descndants of 8th century converts, albeit with some 16th century admixture with German migrants (still from East of the Elbe).
These people didn’t even speak Yiddish until the 16th century – they spoke Knaan Leshon, which is more like Old Czech.
All the Ferengi-looking motherfuckers that infest the US oligarch class: yeah, those are the people I’m talking about. As they age, the women all end up looking like Madeleine Albright (gack) and the blokes look like Sheldon Adelson (gack). Which is to say, you would never mistake them for a Palestinian.
And the slightly bizarre thing is that most of them have largely abandoned their ancestors’ race-and-genital-mutilation cult: they’re atheists, and their “Jewishness” is cultural… but it’s an Eastern European culture, not a Levantine one. Latkes, not hummus.
Between you and JC you both pretty much covered it rather comprehensively. BTW, the City of London is VERY MUCH a part of it as it is run and controlled by those same “khazarians” that had took over this pathetic England, using their stooge at the time, called Oliver Cromwell. The so-called “British royalty” needs a permission to enter that “Square Mile”.. did you know that?
You’re talking about a Caucasian people here. Maybe originally admixed with a few Khazars here and there but the people of the land were essentially Transcaucasian. So what accounts for the Russia hatred?
Was it running smack into an expansionist Russia and the loss of their land? Well, same thing happened when the Khazars moved in and there’s no Turkic-hatred amongst this group.
The Judaizing thing is a red herring. The Judahites weren’t the same ethnicities as the post-Babylonian Jews, and those folks weren’t the same ethniticites as the post-Alexandrian Jews. All these “Jews” have always had a Caucasian element because that element was always driven westward…by Amorites, Arameans, Aryans, Iranians, Turks, etc.
So again, what accounts for the Transcaucasian hatred of the Rus?
JC,
Bravo, I couldn’t have put it better myself. And Thank You! Lots of people STILL do not see it for what it is, still looking at only tiny details in the picture, without standing back ang taking in a FULL view. You got it!
Orwell wrote that Airstrip One kept switching: they would be allied with Eurasia against Eastasia, then allied with Eastasia against Eurasia, and switched from one to the other pretty much at random. It took me 50 years to figure out what Orwell was saying. I thought Eurasia was the USSR and Eastasia was the PRC and never thought of Airstrip One allied with the PRC against the USSR. Silly me. Orwell died before there was any PRC.
When Napoleon was calling himself Emperor of France, Airstrip One was allied with Russia (Eastasia) against France (Eurasia).
Then, after Napoleon was defeated and sent to St Helena, Airstrip One allied with France and the Ottomans (Eurasia) against Russia (Eastasia). World War I saw Airstrip One allied with Russia (Eastasia) against the Central Powers (Eurasia). After WWI, Airstrip One feared Stalin and briefly allied with Eurasia against Eastasia. Orwell omits the tiny bit where the USSR allied with the Axis against the Allies for two years, then the Axis decided to invade the USSR and Airstrip One was, again, allied with Eastasia against Eurasia, until the end of WWII when Airstrip One immediately allied with Eurasia against Eastasia, a situation which continues to this day.
The part where Moscow was Hitler’s ally in WWII after Hitler spent the 1930s shouting against Russia is hilarious to say the least. Stalin did not know what awaited Russia. It wasn’t Stalin who made a mistake in WWII, it was London that came to believe in another war after the Munich agreements. As usual. WWII was as stupid as war today or WWI!
It had been very easy to stop Hitler in the early 1930s! When he was still a clown like Zelensky today! The big German industrialists only started to support Hitler later. And it was not because they believed in Hitler but because they feared the communist party. The rise of Nazism in Germany was another moment in history when everything went to sleep.
And like the Maidan coup, it didn’t happen overnight. When Hitler finally came to power in Germany, all of Europe had already realized that he was a thug. Unfortunately, a lot of people looked the other way. And what followed was very similar to what followed in Ukraine after the coup. With people disappearing and political parties being illegalized.
Stalin was well aware of the danger Hitler posed to Soviet Union. Right up to a few days before the pact was signed between USSR and Germany, Stalin’s top diplomats were trying to persuade Britian and France to form an alliance with USSR against Hitler’s Germany. Only once he was convinced that France and Britain would not fight with USSR against Hitler did he approve the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
London also destroyed Europe twice in the last century alone. And is doing everything it can to set Europe on fire again. Like tonight with another PR operation with two Russian vessels in dry dock – which greatly reduces the damage.
Of course, the majority was expecting Russia to annihilate Kiev in a few days. And the US would do absolutely nothing. Because the US does not have any military objectives in Ukraine. Much less save Ukraine. The only objective of the US is to overthrow Putin! With economic sanctions that the US thought would bring down Russia in two weeks. Because the US is the one that predicted a short conflict. That’s why they ran out of ammunition. The sanctions continued, regardless the duration of the conflict.
Having said that and fully understanding Russia’s long-term economic strategy, I can’t hide the fact that would happy to see a UK vessel at the bottom of the sea today. And anyone who thinks that the UK or the US would react is mistaken. The same way that it confuses many people, Russia does not react to red lines. Or having fallen into the trap of the US long wars. It needs iron nerves and a very well-designed strategy with which Russia has achieved the biggest victories. In the BRICS and now in the G-20. And if for that you have to swallow some defeats on twitter…
Please do not underestimate the role of the British banks in the silent coup that occurred with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 that wrested control of the US purse from elected representatives and handed it to the private banks that comprise the Federal Reserve banks. I contend that unless and until the Federal Reserve Act is repealed, the octopus that controls banking is destroyed, and legislation that comports with our Constitution is enacted, the US will not be free of the corruption that pervades our government.
Ironic how the end of the USSR didn’t lead to a utopian world of peace and harmony. Instead we get a dystopian one in which the Have’s impose their will on the world using words like democracy, and freedom but are really manipulation, propaganda, narrative economics, and freedom without constraints for the haves, over the have nots. The have’s being the titans of the defense/security/health/financial/tech/media industries.
Are the Russian’s now on the right side of history?
How could the end of the USSR lead to a period of peace and harmony if the USSR did not interrupt any period of peace and harmony in the world? Neither at the beginning after WWI nor in the second phase after WWII. Regardless of political ideologies, Russia suffers from the same disease as all countries with many resources. From the greed of others! Fortunately for Russia, they have managed to defend themselves. This is what we are seeing today, despite all the “unprovoked war” propaganda that says otherwise. As if Russia had surrounded the US with medium-range missiles.
The Western deep state oligarchy have always had ambitions toward Russia’s wealth of natural resources.
After Gorbachev opened the door they nearly did, infiltrating government, business, and finance, Putin put a stop to that.
They’ve been trying to topple him ever since.

Voilà un commentaire que j’apprécie .
Not with unelected psychopaths like Victoria “Fuck the EU” Nuland continually escalating:

I prefer.the nomdeplume “VICKY THE HUT”.
Very few Americans are well educated in history or geopolitics I’m afraid. A big part of the reason is because of some of the more “anti-intellectual” elements of American popular culture, where history is portrayed as “boring”, as opposed to say, sports, but another even bigger part I’d argue is that the ruling class and by extension, the media that they control, has kept the American people ignorant on purpose.
Where history is taught, often Americans are misinformed. To give an example, the role of the USSR in defeating Germany during WW2 is understated, whereas American often teaches that it played the leading role in defeating the Third Reich.
This has other consequences. Americans are more willing to support their nation going to war due to their lack of knowledge and being propagandized, which has not been lost on the ruling class. People in other nations aren’t perfect of course, but comparatively much better informed.
In terms of other aspects, as Larry notes, only a small percent of the American population died during WW2 compared to say, the losses of the USSR. The US is also geographically isolated by the oceans from the Europe, Asia, and Africa, which makes the American population less resistant to military conflict. The same could be said about South America, which although connected by land via Mexico and Central America, is distant enough from the US as to be well outside of the typical American citizen’s attention.
Another consequence of the world wars, I think is that although most Americans are not well informed, the ruling class has gone out of their way to remind Americans that the US emerged in a stronger geopolitical position in both world wars. As a result, the “war is good for America” mantra has been peddled very aggressively by the ruling class and without much domestic backlash. This has occurred, despite the failures of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and increasingly, Ukraine. Perhaps this may also be because there is the perception of few Americans having to sacrifice, due to the elimination of conscription. There doesn’t seem to be an understanding how instability fuels problems in the US like inflation.
Finally, as many people from the US can attest, living standards in the US are in decline. Many Americans simply are trying to get by on a day to day basis. When many Americans are barely treading water or well, sinking, it becomes impossible to devote time to other pursuits, such as becoming well-educated on history. Real inflation is almost certainly higher than the official BLS statistics and as a result, the loss of purchasing power these past few years has been very large.
One gentlemen who I conversed with informed me that when he recently visited the downtowns of many major US cities, he saw them in a state of deep decline. He was expecting to see world class infrastructure that would be an inspiration to the rest of the world, and evidently, was shocked at the decline. Drug abuse was at levels that he compared to the addiction that many Russians had in the 1990s during the Yelsin years to alcohol. The poor state of US infrastructure was not lost on him either – the nation hardly seemed worthy of superpower status. Maybe that’s another reason for the ruling class keeping the US populace ignorant, as there would be a revolt if more Americans know about the state of infrastructure in other nations.
I would like to see the US recover – but I don’t see that happening in the near future. It may very well need a collapse not unlike that of the USSR. Then the successor state would need a leader on the calibre of Vladimir Putin to take over.
As to your point regarding living standards, life expectancy in USA has dropped to 76.1 years, the lowest it has been since 1996.
Regarding the state of infrastructure and slumming down in the cities, in my working life, I travelled to Seattle (a very nice city) every year on business. The last trip I made to the USA was a holiday road trip from LA to SF which was wonderful. I was just shocked by the state of LAX and SF. My friends in Seattle tell me Seattle is no longer what it once was.
I go to Seattle regularly for work. Liberal shithole. I flew into to SanFransicko for my honeymoon and then went north. Public defecation on the few blocks’ walk to Fisherman’s Wharf to get lunch before heading north.
This country has become what Russia was in the 90’s under Yeltsin. A fucking shithole.
One giant Sodom and Gomorrah from sea to shining sea.
Purple mountain’s majesty has given way to purple-haired trans freaks.
I think God has given the people of this country over to their depravity. I just do my best keep my family safe and try to get through it. If we were less plugged in here I’d move them to another country. Maybe Russia. It seems normal.
The pattern of divine interaction with humanity is to: a) call fervently for a people group to cling to [i.e. “follow”] Him, b) deliver object lessons when they won’t, c) give them up to their depravity when that’s what they really want, then d) raise up a revival (spiritually and physically) when they’re good and ready to listen.
The US is at point C, while Russia is at point D. In reference to the simple words of a child survivor of the Sudan civil war: “God [grows] tired of us.”
Never saw a homeless person or street druggie in the 90’s under Yeltsin. There were other problems but not those.
Portland is in decline as well. At the Dr.’s office yesterday the technician told me that Walgreens had to temporarily close as store because they didn’t have enough staff. The lack of labor is chronic, ads are almost everywhere, especially entry doors. I see people sleeping on the streets in Portland, these is the extra labor we need. My son’s stolen car was found 2 month later with spray paint on the center console and needles in carpet. It’s going to take a long time to change this.
Well said.
“When many Americans are barely treading water or well, sinking, it becomes impossible to devote time to other pursuits, such as…”
Well said. And of course keeping us busy treading water is largely thanks to the destruction of the currency.
There’s a reason why the monied interests in this country had to go to such great lengths to conceal the work they did to craft the legislation for the Federal Reserve, which is not a federal institution and which has no reserve. And there’s a reason why they had to pass the bill in the middle of the night after most of Congress had left for holiday break.
Our forefathers were too smart when it came to central banks. Hence the secrecy.

Altandmain
You summed up the situation perfectly ! Since I have been visiting the USA regularly since 1980 and most of my family are American citizens, I can follow the changes in that country that deserves a better fate ! While in 1980 I seriously thought about staying and becoming an American citizen, based on my experiences today, it would not be possible for me, since I am a white person, and I open my mouth and express my opinion as I expressed it back then during the communist dictatorship ! But now that I see how things are going in the USA, my open speech would be worse now than it was back then in the communist dictatorship !
Excellent summary by Altandmain of where the US stands today. The physical decay that has be going on for decades has accelerated when the covid psyop was implemented. The social decay has accerated as well, blm, trans, homeless druggies, border invasion, rigged election, the list goes on…
The most, unfortunately not that surprising anymore, odd thing is that all of this is seemingly not noticed or reacted to by the mass of the US population. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that all this is accepted, as in the stupid phrase, ‘the new normal.’
Do not see this ending well for the US. It would take an upheaval like what was able to peacefully occur in the RF when the Eltsin comprador regime was replaced for that to happen. That happened ‘stealthily.’ Wouldn’t bet that the coming upheaval in the US would go as well.
For those who haven’t listened to it, a short Tucker bit via Zerohedge: in a brief clip dropped last night, Tucker Carlson rages (in his inimitable manner) that the current system of governance in the US does not genuinely reflect the majority’s will but benefits a small group of people with power.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/liars-low-iq-lunatics-tucker-tears-politicians-betrayal-american-democracy
Tucker is so clear; beautiful.
I wonder if it isn’t time for a reDeclaration of Independance.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Americans that are knowledgeable enough to have referenced a world map see Russia as this humongous nation many times larger than the US that clearly invokes in the mind a threat simply by virtue of its size. Yet those same Americans are typically ignorant of Mercator projections which exaggerate visual land area as it distances itself north or south of the equator. The reality is that Russia is actually 1.8 X the land area of the US. Substantially larger yet nothing close to what’s perceived by simply looking at a world map.
I have the greatest respect for the statesman Putin who is changing the course of humanity. I just think he should resolve this conflict faster, he’s giving the war pigs a lot of time to do some really bad shit. The next one is these exercises in the Black Sea. Will we get through this unscathed?
Putin has just explained the obvious about the duration of the conflict that confuses many. In the same way that the US used the corrupt regime in Ukraine after the coup to isolate Russia, overthrow Putin and plunder its natural resources again, Russia is using the corrupt regime in Ukraine to implode NATO and perhaps the EU!
The enlargement of the BRICS and the final declaration of the G-20, which does not condemn Russia and recognizes an expanded conflict between Russia and the West, are Russia’s two great victories in the conflict to date. Ukraine has been sold out for many months. Alone no longer exists!
However, it also doesn’t seem to me that the US is willing to continue supporting Ukraine for much longer. Today’s Ukrainian polls, which say that 80% of Ukrainians hold Zelensky responsible for the failure of the counteroffensive and corruption in Ukraine, must have the finger of the US! Pushing Zelensky under the bus! After Zelensky admitted on CNN for the first time the failure of the counteroffensive because of the US delay in sending weapons. The honeymoon is over. Before the first rains in the theater of operations.
It’s gone beyond exercises. Imagine if a Russian proxy using Russian supplied missiles did this to the Bremerton shipyard.
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-launches-missile-attack-sevastopol-crimea-russian-installed-governor-2023-09-13/
Resolve faster? The WWIII is just getting started.
Probably not. I fully expect an attack on a US or NATZO warship or another mining false flag attack to occur and blamed on Putin. The Black Sea op is slated to end the 15th, but they could plant some shit to happen at a later date, like Nordstrum. Only thing I’m sure of is if it does happen innocent western sailors will die and Russia will be blamed. Will it be enough to get the public on board for war in Europe? I pray it doesn’t happen!
The Tsarnaev brothers have nothing to do with the Boston attack, nor do all the attack designs. In the second millennium, the terrible hatred of the West towards Byzantium and then Russia is a genetic character essence that was transferred to America by the same genetekia. The Tears of Russia memorial for September 11, 2001 was placed in a New Jersey landfill, and now Putin’s name has been crossed out on it.
Yep, the appalling lack of historical knowledge and emotional instability among leadership and citizens/residents alike weakens this country by the day. All of our social structures of governance, culture, behavior, and even the most basic general knowledge have all been systematically degraded.
I want to ask you about the veracity of the below email I sent to others regarding the Australian ABC and which is as follows……
If you are talking about freedom of information and justice here is the email I sent , of which I am sceptical of the accuracy of the author of the Article …. And about which you may have more detail and if it is accurate?
This Article now up on the ABC Website … https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-13/izium-torture-investigation-authorities-hope-to-bring-charges/102842914 … Is by Steve Cannane (The Bureau Head for the ABC in London) who is by his previous Articles a rabbit Putin Hater and has in them on occasions blatantly lied, and sets out an horrific picture in a most dramatic dissertation in what is emphatically claimed to be an event which amounts to War Crimes in my book. What do you know about it and if it is true? …
I am not a Putin Hater nor am I a Putin Puppet ……… What I want to know is … if this is true?
This query is addressed to……..
Scott Ritter—Col. Douglas McGregor—Judge Napolitano—Larry Johnson—Pepe Escobar—John Helmer …
Of all those listed John Helmer is by far from everything I read the most forensic and accurate person I have found and he’s an Australian!
I have sent the emails to them where I have the addresses by Bcc.. as a matter of privacy. And if not to their websites.

I subscribe to your website and notice most things.

The article in question is Western propaganda. They are compelled to portray Russia as heartless monsters.
Hi William,
I agree with Larry.
Had a quick look at Mr Cannane’s article, which has this “New intelligence released this week by the Centre for Information Resilience …”
Going to the Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) website, it’s clearly a Western government construct, funded by USA, UK & Australian governments.
“CIR was founded in June 2020 by former FCDO officers Ross Burley and Adam Rutland.” (https://www.intelligenceonline.com › corporate-intelligence › 2022 › 12 › 07 › centre-for-information-resilience-british-rising-star-of-osint-seeks-us-funding,109871764-art)
CIR has “coordinated research by the wider OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) community including Bellingcat and GeoConfirmed, with support from Advance Democracy, Inc.” (https://www.info-res.org/eyes-on-russia)
and the clincher, “… it has hired Nina Jankowicz, formerly in charge of counter-disinformation for the Department of Homeland Security.” (https://www.intelligenceonline.com/corporate-intelligence/2022/12/07/centre-for-information-resilience-british-rising-star-of-osint-seeks-us-funding,109871764-art)
Judging simply by the titles of Mr Cannane’s other online articles, he’s not someone I would read other than as bare-faced propaganda.
Have Russian troops committed crimes in Ukraine? I don’t know. I do know the legacy media is not a source to provide any objective information on that (or pretty much anything these days).
Best wishes.
Russia wanted and supported US intervention in Afghanistan. With Russian military bases from which USF planes departed and above all with intelligence. Nobody knows Central Asia like Russia. Especially the Islamic extremism that the US created and financed since or against the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan.
And Russia supported the US in 9/11 and the subsequent intervention in Afghanistan out of human solidarity, which is very characteristic of the Russian people and because Russia has millions of reasons to fear Islamic terrorism too. Russia has a huge Muslim population that it does not want to see infected with extremists. The intervention in Syria also aimed to stop the Islamic terrorism!
And the US thanked Russia for its support with financing the wars in Chechnya, Georgia and now in Ukraine! Because Washington has no friends. Only vassals or enemies! Putin himself only became hated in the US after challenging the unipolar world at the 2007 Munich Security Conference! But I would say that Putin is not the biggest Russian trophy that the US wants. What the US wants are Russia’s natural resources. Therefore it would be the same with any President who defended Russia. Only Yeltsin was a friend of the US!
P.S. Jacques Baud continues to be one of the greatest experts on the conflict in Ukraine. Normally he does it in books and has now started promoting the 3rd book about the conflict. Someone who is always worth listening to:

Not with this privately run mainly Jewish western central banking elitist system at the top of the pyramid which pays the neocons and their puppets. US-led war against the world is going to continue til the current western central banking scam is replaced.
Outside USA all Central Banks are State owned
The FED is also a Public Institution and its focus is the public interest. Even though it was supposed to be independent of the White House like the Justice system. In conducting monetary policy, maintaining economic stability and supervising the country’s financial system. At the end of the day, with the deregulation of the financial system, these entire public systems collapsed. In neoliberalism, private banks are the ones who truly create the currency whenever they make a loan! And quickly the financial markets took over the US and the world!
Today, those who define US macroeconomic policy are Wall Street and the financial oligarchs. They are the ones who define where to invest and as a consequence they pushed the entire Industry abroad. And the dollar itself, without the backing of gold, is nothing more than paper. And as a world reserve currency whenever the US raises interest rates to control Inflation, like now, we are really seeing what happens to the debt and currencies of other countries.
And who controls those “states”? Rothschild/WEF hacks like Macron, Merkel, Trudeau/Freeland/Singh, BOJO/Truss/Sunak.
What countries do not have Rothschild-controlled central banks? Some are: Russia, China, Syria, Libya, Iran, Venezuela… notice a pattern?
That’s just a facade. Like those so called independent news outlets, they are all owned by one centrally operated network. Same with US, UK and other western banks. The biggest shareholder for the FED is a private banking entity.
I would say that the largest shareholders of the US are private entities! Many years ago!
Paul,
“outside USA all Central Banks are stated owned”? You mean by United States so-called Federal Reserve cabal or by these actual countries that have the Central Banks? If it is former, you are right, if it’s latter – oh, boy – you are very much “away with the fairies” here, as they say. Even Russia had it’s Central Bank very much under their control (Yeltzin legacy), until VVP had put a stop to it and turned it around to work for Russia’s interests. Decoupling from US$$ was a major step to that – hence the practically palpable hatred towards the man from this odious cabal.
Actually Paul the Bank of England is not state owned. It is run by the City of London and the biggest banks there.

That is a highly misleading distinction without a practical difference. Yes, the US Federal Reserve is a private entity, while outside the US, the central banks are, at least on paper, governmental institutions.
However, it would be more correct to say that, just like in the US, the national banks of many (if not most) “western” states have more control over their governments than the governments have control over their national banks.
On the Global stage today, Putin is simply PEERLESS!
It’s a great pity that, unlike Russia, the US and most of the world chose to forget their history and traditional values.
It was said that a tree that forgot its roots would wither and die, just like the river that forgot its source would dry up!
We see the results in the dystopian, dysfunctional societies that are being created in the name of “Western values!”
This current war must end with the dissolution of the United States as a Union of States and the , US becoming once more part of the Americas and all of the stolen states being returned to Mexico.
The US must close its Empire of 1000 bases and leave Europe. The US foisted governments in the UK etc must face full accountability to their people and will likely have to answer for capital crimes against humanity , I most certainly mean a death penalty under the precedents of Nuremberg.
My impression, after seeing the two excellent excerpts is to use an example. Those who may disagree, for whatever reason, are free to do so. In the real history of Israel, the fabric of the nation was maintained by the reading and teaching of the Torah every Sabbath in synagogues. These teachings were, it was strongly believed, were from a being who was said to have created mankind. The people were not without leaders of great character to try to keep the people focused on adherence to the teachings, the purpose being the success and survival of the nation. There was a standard of conduct and people knew it. I think Putin is well acquainted with history and knows the value of rock solid values. The disgusting problems , particularly in the western countries, are a result of corrupt leaders and teachers in every area of society, doing what is right in their own eyes. The corruption is a cumulative process, resulting in what we see now: governments gaslighting their people, manipulating them, destroying their character, keeping them ignorant. Virtue signaling is a disgusting trait. American “exceptionalism” is a myth. Education has been replaced by the deliberate neglect, corruption and destruction of youth, and there are not many people who are reversing the tide. We see what is happening. I know President Putin is fiercely determined to protect his country and find a way to convince nations that peace is a priority.
For an example of the lack of character in modern leaders, look to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm’s behaviour* in hogging a car charging space:
https://www.npr.org/2023/09/10/1187224861/electric-vehicles-evs-cars-chargers-charging-energy-secretary-jennifer-granholm
(* It was her team that did it, not her, you object! Well, she has command responsibility for her team, there is no indication she reprimanded anyone when she became aware of it, and there is no report of any apology offered to the inconvenienced citizen.)
In some respects, it may be considered a trivial unimportant incident. But it reflects the important fact that today, those elected to high office or appointed to senior civil service roles no longer see themselves as servants of the people, but as our rulers and in their arrogant, inflated senses of importance and entitlement, and impunity from accountability for even the most grievous failures and incompetence, see themselves as entitled to virtually monarchial levels of privilege over the rest of us mere commoners.
And that is why they (and the embedded sycophantic journalist who wrote the report) felt entitled to block an available charger, saw nothing wrong in having done so and are not reported to have offered any apology.
Putin, on the other hand, appears to be very polite, gracious and respectful in all his interactions with Russian citizens as evidenced by many Youtube videos.
Russia like the U.S. has a Khazar problem of people posing as Semites to hide their sinister practices
Russia and Ukraine are generally the chief loci of the origination of these locusts.
For the US it will be fatal as they are draining the host dry.
These people are not Semites as their language stems from Germanic not Semitic tongues , neither are they ethnically Middle Eastern as their genes locate them amongst human migrations and populations of Eastern Europeans. Religiously they are shrouded in secrecy, but there are dark allusions to their times in Russia and Germany , both of which ended in total decimation of these countries in the early part of the 20th century.
As we know from their own public proclamations they wish to seize the Al-Aqsa Mosque and practice ‘sacrifice’ there once more…
We can only guess who or what they wish to sacrifice , from the racist pronouncements of sects like the Kahanists who are quite blatant in calling for the deaths of those who do not adhere to their beliefs.
Russia has this problem too , but in the US it has resulted in the US committing many crimes in their foreign policies including the current Ukraine war through their agency.
Domestically for the US at least 2 presidents have clashed with them and the presidents were assassinated
There is the attribution for the domestic crime of September the 11th 2001
It was not Saudi Arabia that attacked the US.
Andrei Martyanov’s Blog
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday indicated he was bracing for a long war in Ukraine, saying that Kyiv could use any ceasefire to rearm and that Washington would continue to see Russia as an enemy no matter who won the 2024 U.S. election. Speaking for several hours at an economic forum in Russia’s Pacific port city of Vladivostok, Putin said Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces had so far failed and the Ukrainian army had sustained heavy losses of 71,000 men in the attacks. Only when Ukraine was exhausted when it came to men, equipment and ammunition would it talk peace, he said in reply to questions from a Russian television presenter acting as a moderator.
Russia fights NATO and NATO knows it and begins to convulse and panic in a face of strategic reality. After that, once the mobilization potential of NATO and its 404 cannon fodder proxies is exhausted, Russia will finally decide what conditions she will dictate to defeated West and Russian Army will go on the offensive when it deems proper.
Putin said the prosecution in the United States of former President Donald Trump was politically motivated and demonstrated the “rottenness” of the U.S. political system. But the Kremlin chief said that no matter who won next year’s U.S. election, he expected no change in Washington’s policy towards Russia. “The will be no fundamental changes in the Russian direction in U.S. foreign policy, no matter who is elected president,” Putin said. “The U.S. authorities perceive Russia as an existential enemy.”
But it is not just Germany, it is Europe as a whole. Mr Peskov today clearly indicated (in Russian) that both Macron and Scholtz have no sovereignity, which is true because both are lapdogs and will do as told. Europe has been had big time, let it enjoy.

“In a several-hour speech at an economic forum held in Vladivostok, Putin stated …. ”
Yes, I listened to the speech, he spoke clearly, clearly and logically and “tirelessly” for a long time ! Meanwhile, Putin did not shake hands with anyone who was not visible there, did not fall off the platform, and did not talk about the fact that there was a fire in the kitchen once ! Oh, and he didn’t go out of the show in the opposite direction, while several people were pointing to the exit ! 🙂
Meanwhile, the lying Western (British) press lied (again) that he only had days left to live ! While they are applauding the re-start of an unfortunate demented old man in the presidency of the biggest military power on the planet !
Whilst Boris Jonson enjoys being with new friends in a ceremony with a greeting not usually associated with someone claiming democratic credentials:
https://twitter.com/VasylKrutchak
Sufi cleric in Pennsylvania, Graham Fuller’s guy:) You know, ex father in law to the Tsarnaev’s uncle, come on Larry bring the MAC!
Putin is intelligent, no question. But can he handle the big task that he started: To make the neocons give up FOREVER? Ukraine may surrender. But what about the Baltic States with millions of ethnic Russians? What about the polish, that buy American weapons like mad? And what about Armenia? What about the turkey, that never gives up its dream of Osman Reich?
Not a simple task.
If he wanted a simple taks, he would become a president of the USA.
Thanks Larry for this article. I always felt that a lot of lies are said about Putin. Just because he was in the KGB doesn’t mean he’s a killer, any more than you who work in intelligence. To a lot of people see everybody that worked in the KGB as killers. Imagine the janitor who sweeps the floor for the KGB as a killer. I guess they train people to be killer before being accepted as a janitor in the KGB. I have a freind that believes this, go figure.
Putin is an honorable man. I long for the day when the US could get a person of similar quality in the White House. Instead we are stuck with Brandon and the Cackling Dunce.
I don’t think Putin and Russians have a comprehension of the level of psychopathy present among the West’s
armed forcesmercenaries and the degree of hatred toward historical Apostolic Christianity among the people running the West.From editor and Ron Unz, who in addition to his physics degrees from Harvard & Stanford has a degree in history from Harvard (nb: Unz is a secular Jew):
Russia and US working together. That would be nice. But some Americans, both dead and living, would need to be cast out of our firmament. Maybe start with Zbiggy and his 1997 book, “Grand Chessboard”. This book, which outlines a plan for the Rape of Russia, would have to be discussed by all of us for what it is. Poor Mika, I don’t know if Joe S. can take her on enough vacations to Provence to dull the pain of having her Dear Old Dead Dad talked about as the Nazi he was. Not to mention Mrs. Albright, another Nazi mass-murderer. She said that killing millions of Iraqis was worth it.
How the F*€!( do people like this get to the top of our government?
TASS news:
“Shoigu said today that Russia has no other option but to win in Ukraine.
The Russian Armed Forces maintain an active defense in the necessary directions in Ukraine and act confidently, the defense minister said.”
Clear announcement – the West also wants to win.
Who has more power, raw materials and motivation?
War is a self-learning system.
Whoever learns faster and more effectively has the advantage.
Under no circumstances should one underestimate the US-NATO.
As far as the course of events is concerned, I believe that Putin is proceeding very deliberately and has also taken setbacks into account.
He must have a long-term view of the entire garden for his country and not just one point of the compass.
And there is different weather every day.

I don’t think many people in this country realize how screwed up our leaders truly are. Can you imagine a president of the US saying something like this. Maybe JFK, or Ike, but none since then. Shallow narcissistic people make it to the top in government. It’s all bullshit non-stop.
“I pray we will see a time when American and Russia can work as friends in trying to ensure peace in the world.”
USA working with someone, as friends, to ensure peace. Top level satire.
With the possible exception of the members of the House Republican Freedom Caucus (about the ONLY “Republicans” worth a bucket of spit)…
… Vladimir Putin has probably got better values, more character, heart, intelligence and integrity than 90% of the entire U.S. Greed-Driven U.S. Congress combined.
Satan’s philosophy of Liberalism (properly defined as any idea, notion, attitude or government policy that clashes with God’s pure Word, the 66 Holy Spirit-superintended books of the King James Bible) is the Satan-inspired boll weevil that eventually destroys individuals, families, societies, and ultimately whole nations.

Thank you for posting these videos — a timely reminder of what wicked fools we have running the “American” media and in Washington, D.C.
Just listened to a public service radioreport about a Russian helicopterpilote who defected to Ukraine, with his Mi-expensive chopper, and two men of the crew. It was arranged months before with the Ukrainian secret service.
The pilote was from a family with long experience of aircrafts, and
was on a mission to deliver spare parts. But he went down in Charkov. His family could left Russia with the help of GUR.
But what is the truth? Ukraine use to tell lies, and they should now
pay the pilote money and give him
a new life, he was against the war.
But to defect and deliver a state owned helicopter that must be to
steal state property, and those two
crew airmen, didn’t approve the
flight, but was forced to follow.
They then tried to escape but were
shot of the Ukrainians, that was murder, they had the right to leave,
as they were forced to go along.
The pilote sacrified his crewmem-bers, so not that brave hero, it seems, but high treason, and plain murder.
But there are a Russian version of
the event, from a military blogger but what are the real facts, one of this typical Ukrainian story, in the endgame.
As children, Tsarnaev and his brother lived in Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan. In 2001, the family moved to Makhachkala, Dagestan, in the Russian Federation. In April 2002, the Tsarnaev parents and Dzhokhar went to the United States on a 90-day tourist visa. Don’t use Wiki to fact check LJ…it is either wrong by design or the authors are uniformed idiots
Authors are idiots.
The west must be prepared to spin another terror attack as Russia supporters if that is convenient. Imagine that would get the people wanting revenge. Russia must have
run war game scenarios as well on that.
Sure wish we had patriots running the show in the USA. Biden, Harris, Blinken?
The problem is not ignorance as much as it is arrogance. Do be humble and ignorant is the start of the journey. To be ignorant, and militantly arrogant leaves no room for growth of any kind. It is a dead end and makes learning impossible.
I join with your prayer, Larry. However, don’t hold my breath in the near future for sanity to over come the Demonic Nihilist grip on the US.
Two US candidates, only two, have even expressed any suport for ending OTAN war in 404, Trump and Ramaswamy. Taking into account that the proposals they have, which are nonsense, have to be voiced that way in the current propagandized climate, they would be ignored by the deepstate anyway in the unlikely ecvvent that either would find themselves in the the position to try implementation.
VVP recognized the long standing US policy, driven by the neomorons, to isolate, break-up, and rape and pillage Russia in his statement at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok yesterday.

”He shares memories based on letters from his grandfather (I don’t know if it was paternal or maternal).”
It was his maternal grandfather.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin
Early life
Putin was born on 7 October 1952 in Leningrad, Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg, Russia),[23][24] the youngest of three children of Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin (1911–1999) and Maria Ivanovna Putina (née Shelomova; 1911–1998). His grandfather, Spiridon Putin (1879–1965), was a personal cook to Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin.[25][26] Putin’s birth was preceded by the deaths of two brothers: Albert, born in the 1930s, died in infancy, and Viktor, born in 1940, died of diphtheria and starvation in 1942 during the Siege of Leningrad by Nazi Germany’s forces in World War II.[27][28]
Putin’s mother was a factory worker and his father was a conscript in the Soviet Navy, serving in the submarine fleet in the early 1930s. During the early stage of Nazi German invasion of Soviet Union, his father served in the destruction battalion of the NKVD.[29][30][31] Later, he was transferred to the regular army and was severely wounded in 1942.[32] Putin’s maternal grandmother was killed by the German occupiers of Tver region in 1941, and his maternal uncles disappeared on the Eastern Front during World War II.[33]
It s a fine point made by aboveAltande on the
mindset shaped in Americans mood after their participation in two WW wars, that “war is a good thing for the United States” .
Even if understandable to a certain extent, it becomes a bad habit if you add up the 1898 victorious war against Spain.
Remember the Tsarnaev brothers who carried out the Boston Marathon bombing? Yep. They were Chechens.
They weren’t just ‘Chechens’. They were Chechens whose Chechen uncle emigrated to the US via CIA intervention on his behalf. So, you can safely deduce that they were from that group of Chechens that was working against the interests of the R.F. and for the interests of the U.S., which at the time (and ever since?) were diametrically opposed, as per U.S. habit.
About Putin’s tale to the students. That part regarding his grandparents attitude to such things as love and morality, expectations and reality.
For me this is all reflected in the beautiful performance of Elena Frolova’s “Когда Я Устану Жить”:
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=VEwtsr7zE0Y
For those that doesn’t speak russian, here is provided the russian text and the english translation:
Когда я устану жить,
Когда я устану петь,
К себе меня привяжи,
Чтоб сердце мое согреть.
When I get tired of living,
When I get tired of singing,
Tie me to yourself,
To warm my heart.
Когда я устану петь,
Когда не смогу летать,
Чтоб глупо не умереть,
Позволь мне тебя желать.
When I get tired of singing,
When I can’t fly,
So as not to die stupidly,
Let me desire you.
Позволь мне тебя жалеть,
Позволь мне тебя любить,
Когда я устану петь,
Когда я устану плыть
Let me feel sorry for you,
Let me love you,
When I get tired of singing,
When I get tired of drifting*
В неведомые края
К невидимым берегам,
Позволь мне, любовь моя,
Прибиться к твоим губам,
To unknown lands
To the invisible shores,
Let me, my love,
To be nailed to your lips,
Уткнуться в твое крыло,
Не плакать и не спешить,
Чтоб солнце мое взошло
В просторах твоей души.
Burrow into your wing,
Don’t cry and don’t rush,
May my sun rise
In the vastness of your soul.
* плыть is here translated as drifting (otherwise it can also relate to the activity of swimming, floating and sailing
Thanks again Larry,
For your truth and courage to show

What has happened in our western civilization?
Why have we self-destructed in this 21st century?
Deep Thanks again Larry!
“I pray we will see a time when American and Russia can work as friends in trying to ensure peace in the world.”
That would require the political marginalization of neoconservatives, an admirable goal.
That would require the political marginalization of neoconservatives, an admirable goal.
Remember the ‘defenestration’ campaigns (pogroms to keep it simple) following Maidan of anyone associated with the Yanukovych administration?
That’s what that would take.
Larry, thanks for defending a good man. I think you know why President Putin is hated in the West. He defends traditional values. In fact, last November 9th he made it state policy to preserve and strengthen “traditional Russian spiritual and moral values”. It’s Decree No. 809.
Here’s a link to a synopsis: https://news.yahoo.com/putin-issues-decree-protect-traditional-153318757.html
Another good post Larry.
But the US isn’t relegated to Putin bashing. The US purposely dispenses with giving ANY national leader a “human” quality, especially their enemy targets.
This Country does nothing but denigrate, criticize, slander, embellish, threaten, warn, scorn and mock other National leaders.
They carry this same negativity into ALL domestic national affairs as well.
The negativity that besets the airwaves & social media day in and day out is an energy these parasitic beings feed on hourly.
They’ve no interest in displaying “human” qualities in humanity, they want to full screen the worst of humanity and try to make people believe that’s really ALL of humanity.
Between the two videos, I find the one about the traditional values more revealing. First, he speaks freely and makes sense. Second, he has a grasp of fundamental human nature. We, on the other hand, claim that a braindead vegetable is running the country and cannot say what a woman is. Or we think that women are just as good in sports as men and all the rest. We are totally losing the basics about human nature. How are we supposed to strive or even survive as a society if we cannot get the basics right?
Larry – Re: the Tsarnaev brothers, IMHO they were patsies. The relationship between Graham Fuller then of the CIA and their uncle was never fully explored except in part by Sibel Edmonds. I strongly believe the surviving brother (like his dead sibling) was targeted to be killed and was in fact was thrown to the wolves by his lawyer who was known to have screwed at least some clients in the same way as Mark Zaid, the bane of his whistleblower clients.
I can’t imagine that a great professional like Bob Barnes would not have opened a can of worms and discovered numerous snakes under the rocks, or even Sidney Powell who was such a honey badger in her representation of Mike Flynn (regardless of how they later discredited, or tried to discredit, her participation in the Trump election controversy) would have done the same.
No other country, except Russia can successfully wage such a war against the united NATO West at this time and paralyze the bundled sanctions.
Not even China. China is still too dependent on the West and lacks other preconditions.
However, the support of BRICS and Co. is enormously important and purposeful.
Russia is accelerating its economy more today than before the war.
The “brakes” created by the West in 30 years are gradually being removed.
The Westaltlast Chubai was publicly declined yesterday directly by Putin as an entrepreneurial failure.
Sometimes I get the impression that Putin is still patiently enduring the attacks on Russian infrastructure and civilians in order to further solidify the world’s understanding of a thoughtful, radical military strike.
Lula increasingly doubts the wisdom of Brazil’s membership in the ECJ.
Withdrawal is increasingly being discussed.
There are currently, in my view, three state leaders who are visibly and robustly writing the Western hegemonic crash into the sky and are absolute intellectual counterparts with charisma for the West:
Putin,
the rocket man, and
Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
As a state of Iran.
It was impressive to see the rocket man cosmodrome of Vostochny.
https://t.me/intelslava/51208
I think the rocket man may soon send a cosmonaut into space.
And the Pacific space will be further configured.
Larry its hard to tell, what they mean by Russian propagandist, are they perceiving you and the other’s on the message board, Russian propagandist’s when they say this https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trans-spox-says-ukraine-will-hunt-down-russian-propagandists-around-world
The Tsarnaevs were patsies. Another Deep state false flag. Their uncle who denounced them was married to the daughter of a high level CIA officer.
I remember that day.
I was in the kitchen when shocking images appeared on the TV screen, which still amaze the imagination. The most vivid memory is a woman waving her hands and begging for help in the window opening a minute before the collapse.
Of course, I sympathized with the Americans. All Russians sympathized. And no one was surprised by Putin’s appeal with an expression of condolences and an offer of assistance to the American people. I was surprised that this offer was arrogantly rejected.
It was recently and it was a long time ago.
Hello Gera. The loss of a human life in these circumstances was already a horror. But more die in many days of the conflict in Ukraine! A war that the USA provoked. And worse, it was also the US that created Islamic terrorism. In fact, to combat Russia in Afghanistan. That’s why I don’t understand the frenzy to discover the truth about 9/11. One way or another, it was provoked by US Administrations.
Hello, Paulo!
Our thoughts on this matter coincide, which has already become a tradition.
9/11 was a long time ago. The vivid impressions of that day were overshadowed by a series of others.
Recently, Ukrainians posted a video taken from their drone, from which a Ukrainian operator finishes off a wounded Russian soldier with a dropped grenade. A few seconds before his death, the soldier made the sign of the cross. So, he was conscious, saw an enemy drone, understood that there would be no mercy, mentally read a dying prayer, prepared to appear before the Lord.
This video has collected a huge number of funny emoticons and joyful comments in Ukrainian chats. They are not afraid of God.
I don’t expect sympathy from anyone. I don’t want to discuss our losses, our troubles. We will cope with God’s help.
“… our losses, our troubles. We will …”
You must be talking about yourself in plural (as is woke nowdays), becuse you surely have no right to talk in anyone elses name.
Putin is a normal, even decent human being for the most part… given that he IS the leader of a great nation, and has many people vying to influence him.
But the Western nations are run by the Beast of Revelation 13. (For those interested, see this: https://Revelation13.substack.com/p/revelation-13-happening-now)
That’s why East and West are splitting.
But, they’ll meet again at Armageddon (Megiddo, Israel). Not now, but in a few hundred years. And all will be settled then.
Our CIA was funding, arming and training the Chechen terrorists. Putin complained about it often and mentioned this in his Oliver Stone interview.
Details in this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6k2L-t1LZg
Yes, I noticed that omission here.
One word:
Neocons
That’s all the analysis you need.
Dear Larry.
“I pray we will see a time when American and Russia can work as friends in trying to ensure peace in the world.”
I assume you are talking about the USA.
This is impossible, because the USA has never been for peace in the world. In its 250 years of history, it has had only 16 years without war. And the USA rests on the genocide of the original population in North America. And it is this trauma that the U.S. must first work through in order to operate peacefully as part of a peaceful community of nations.
For the Russian Federation this is possible. But never for the USA, as long as it follows the predatory Western European culture.
With kind regards, willi

PUTIN TALKS ABOUT HIS GRANDPARENTS AND WHAT HE SAID ON 9-11
https://strategic-culture.su/news/2023/09/14/was-9-11-beginning-of-end-of-american-empire/
No, but the subsequent reaction to it was an important inflection point, as was the case on the 9th of September 1973, deemed necessary to “support” the alchemy of turning gold into paper.
Dima is reporting North Korea is sending 450 mm and 600 mm MLRS Systems to Russia by October.
These systems have a rage of 240 MILES ! With an accuracy of 60 to 80 meters. Russian offensive with these systems will do serious damage to whatever is left of Ukraine.
US is escalating at an accelerated rate. US is not worried about nuclear war. In their thinking the war is “over there” .
“reporting”
